FEA Asst. Secretary
Address P.-T. A. In
Regular Meeting
Jack Stevens, Assistant Secretary
of FEA of Tallahassee, Florida was
the guest speaker at the P.-T. A.
Association, meeting, Thursday eve-
ning at the Elementary. Building.
He used as his topic, "What'. Hap-
pening To Our Schools". Hestated
That a, serious teapher- shortage
threatens our schools. Last year
(1951-52) for the first time since
S1947, our school authorities in
Some counties experienced diffi-
culty in finding teachers. This year
(1952-53) many counties experien-
ced difficulties, and some have not
Syet been able to attract enough
qualified people to staff their
schools. When the preschool con-
ference opened in August only sey-
en counties had complete staffs
for this important planning stage
of the school's program. Almost
600 vacancies existed in the other
60 counties.
Not since the 1940 war years
have superintendents had such dif-
ficulty finding qualified people to
teach Florida's children. Business,
industry and government service
are actively competing for the ser-
vices of college trained people and
they offer more attractive salaries
to beginners than Florida's county
schools can offer. He brought out
the fact "that unless more of Flor-
ida's counties are able to pay high-
er teacher salaries to meet the
competition of other states and of
private industry, Florida cannot ex-
pect to attract and hold a sufficient
number of qualified teachers to
man its classrooms".
Teaching is the heart of the
learning process. Florida cannot
ha ve an educational program
which will be rated,among the best
without a corps of competent teach-
ers. Without good teachers we can-
not have good schools.
Mr, Stevens read a portion of the
brochure put put' by thue Florida
Educational Association which rec-
ommends that Florida must pro-
vide sufficient beginning salary to
enable those trained for teaching
to accept teaching positions with-
out economic loss; have salary
schedules high enough to be suffi-
ciently attractive to young men
and women to cause them to be
willing to enter the teaching pro-
fession and high enough to be at-
tractive to young men and women
to cause them to be willing to en-
ter the teaching profession and
high enough to be attractive to
those already in the work in Flor-
ida; set up incentives for advanced
training sufficient in amount to
make teaching attractive as a life-
time occupation; have a retire-
ment system stable enough to
guarantee reasonable security to
the individual after his years of
active service. Only by providing
these things can Florida assure its
present and future citizens that
their children throughout th'e state
will have the benefit of the kinds
of schools the people have said re-
peatedly they want.
Tom Owens, County Supreinten-
dent introduced the speaker. Mu-
sic was conducted by Miss Norma
Jean Lewis and the devotional was
given by Rev. W .L. Lindsey.
Room prizes went to Mrs. Fite's
6th grade and to Miss Catherine Je-
ter's 12th grade for attendance.

SERIOUS DELINQUENCY *

Thursday night of last week saw'serious re-
sults of the rising amount of juvenile delin-
quency here in Port St. Joe.
Three boys at the high school had made
themselves troublesome to the teachers for some
-time by cutting up in class, skipping classes and
other means of disobedience. The high school
principal, H. 'W. Ayers had chastised the boys
in various ways but it seemed to do no good
and was upsetting the school in various ways.
The boys just shoBved no respect for authority;
they were problems, and according to principal
Ayers, their parents didn't seem to try to do
anything about it or see that the boys behaved
'themselves.
Things got so bad-that the-principal finally


ETAOIN SHRDLU
Iby ESLEY R. RAMSEY


Well goddy goody gumdrop, our
ranting and .raving about these: ill-,
egal liquor sales on Sunday has
finally paid off. One of the main
sourcess of supply of Sunday liquir
-was picked -up by the State' 'mii
Sunday, 'two weeks ago, and char-
.Zed with the sale of whiskey after
hours. Maybe justice isn't quite so
-dead as a lot of people thought.

Buck Griffin showed us a stack
at lottery tickets about she-high
the other day, that he had liberated
from a pusher that he had arrest-
ed. Even at ten cents a ticket,
there was enough there to amount
-ap to-quite a piece of change.
'They sure made a nice fire, too.
Did .you know that the only charge
'the local policemen can stick to a
'person they pick dealing in lottery
is "vagrancy"? There is no law on
the city books allowing an arrest
-.s a person dealing in lottery.

"Alligator Rufus", down at Apa-
laehicola, has finally come up with
an idea that we like. He expounded
last week on the subject of the
legislature passing a law requiring
each automobile owner in the state
to carry liability insurance. A bet-
iter thing could not happen to the
state. If an auto driver, runs into
.someone or something and causes
damage, he is automatically out a
lot of money he doesn't have or
a kind and benevolent soul offers
to bear the cost of his own repairs.
-We think it is a good idea for the
legislators to work on. Require
each motorist to carry a 5-10-5 lia-
Ibility policy or be able to post
$10,000.00 bond imifiidiately on a
moments notice. Personally we
-wouldn't drive without liability in-
surance.
SWe wonder also when "Alliga-
tor" is going to acquire the intes-
tinal fortitude to put his name' on
lis. murmerings? If the man.isn't
men. (or wbmhn)' enough to let
asi name be, signed'to: what.,he or
she thinks, they ought to keep
their big rimuth' shut.

W. often wondered why the
stat-'of Wi c6balf "vbted for Sen'-
ator'McCarthy,-hut- thetlother:- diy
ye -'ere of the opinion, just for


had to expell the boys from school in.order to
get peace for the other children and the teach-
ers and get their classes running normally again.
Apparently, the boys didn't "cotton" to
this so they just got together last Thursday
night andtook a little-ride to discuss their mis-
treatment at the hands of the school officials.
Evidently boast led to 'dare and the boys
began to get a little hot under the collar, the
More they discussed that thing.
As a climax, the -boys went over to Monu-
ment Avenue, which:is being',renovated and
"borrowed" a flambeau and -proceeded to the
Ayers'. abode and put the still flaming torch
on the front porch and turned it over on its side
so, that oil would run out of 'the torch arid run
on' the porch floor to be set on fire -from- the
torch's.wick. As luck would have it, the Ayers'
had just retired and when the boys scratched
off in their car, Mr. Ayers jumped up in the bed
startled by the racket and noticed the shadow
on the wall caused by the leaping flames.
He ran out and kicked the torch off the porch
and stamped the remainder of the fire out.
Such actions as this-hints of 'misguided
energy. It also hints, STRONGLY of a need
for some sort of recreation or tfit killer for the
young people that will keep them headed in the
right direction as well as provide a means of
working 'off that extra steam.
This is not just a talking and tongue cluck-
ing-matter. It is a matter demanding immed-
iate action. This is only a taste of things to
come. Are we going to stand idly by and watch
our young people go down the drain, as far as
, their usefullness-to society is,concerned? ,


the 'moment, that they had made a
wize choice. The loud-mouthed
Senator went about his business
on the Q. T. and signed the coun-
try of Greece up on the honor roll
of countries that would agree to
stop carrying shipments of goods
for Red dominated, countries. 250
more ships that the Kremlin has
to "liberate" somewhere or else
go to the expense and' trouble of
-building them. Good iold Greece;
we hardly lift a fingeir for them
and here they come through with
flying colors on the right side of
the fence. Then, we have all those
other countries in Europe that
have received billions in U.S. aid
and they're still undecided as to
which direction they will turn in.
Oh, the irony of it all (and the
waste).
We see where the president is
going to cut down on foreign aid,
however. Bully for him, even if
he is, a Republican.

'Here we had a birthday last week
and forgot to mention it. We fin-
ally attained the ripe old age of 26
after about 26 years of trying. We
were also royally fed by our moth-
er at a dinner Friday, March 20
(the day of days) and forgot to
say a thing about it.

Last Tuesday night the firemen
all gathered down in the fire house
and did a regular policing up job.
The trucks were washed and the
new truck polished and waxed and
the station floor was scrubbed and
everything was just spit and po-
lish. And what was the first job
we .were called. on after all this
labor, why a messy woods fire of
course. So the job was all to do
over again this past Tuesday
night. It's a funny sight on Tues-
day nights to go by the fire sta-
tion and see all, the dusty, grimy
cars setting around out front and
the men crawling all over the fire
trucks polishing and shining where
there was hardly a speck of dust
to begin with.

We.saw a funny thing the other
day. We went down to Austin-Atchi-

tising selling and Earl Atchison

TOO LATE

TO CLASSIFY
BY RUSSELL KAY'

I had a rather unusual experience"
the other .day when I was called
on to appear as a character wit-
ness for a responsible business
executive who local law enforce-
ment officers had been kicking
around for the better part, of a
week with apparently no reason
other than the exercise of misplac-
ed authority.
I have heard frequent reports of
shabby treatment received by out-
of state visitors at the hands. of
irresponsible constables and de-
puties in Florida but this was the
first time I had come face to face
with such high handed action.
My friend Lloyd J. Wavering,
public relations representative of
the Curtiss Candy Company of
Chicago, who brought the famed
six-pony hitch to this state for ap-
pearances at the Orange Bowl,
Florida State Fair, Florida Citrus
Exposition and other events, drove
to Sunshine Park Race Track at
Oldsmar on Friday afternoon to
see the races.
Walking about the grounds he
saw a ticket lying on the grass
near the clubhouse and picked it
;up. Looking at it he saw that it
was a winning ticket. Thinking
that someone had either lost it or
thrown it away not realizing its
value he took it .to the cashier's
widow and turned it in.. The man
at the window asked him to wait
a minute. Shortly, two officers
came up and put him under arrest.
They claimed he was trying to
cash a "tampered" ticket. He ex-
plained that he had found it and
asked the man at the window if it
was any good.
Without further questioning they

a pail of water. Mentally we shut
the door of the booby hatch behind
himn as we noticed:the $45.00 price
tag on the coat, but he just held
those." pants under" water and
grinned. After a bit he pulled the
pants out and proceeded to dry
them out. So help us, after they
weti. dried, they 'looked as good
as 'new. Razor sharp crease .and
everything. Just the thing for a
father with a small diaper baby.

hustled him-to -the officee, frisked
him, and ,wht hed told 'them his
name, infOrmed them 'that he was
an emplbye 'of the Curtiss. Candy

Thomas -Jeffersonu Hotel' in T-anipa;
the officers .discounted everything:
he said.' They iturn~ed 'him- over' to
a deputy from. the 'Sheriiff's-office
who took him to the county jail
where he was booked for "vagrah-
cy and investigation."
He asked for permission to phone
his company 'or get in touch with
mei. He was denied this right and
thrown in a cell without further
consideration. He repeatedly ask,'
ed foir ]'rmission to phone his 'com-
pan')y for he was responsible for
the pony team which was to ap-
pear in Orlando on Monday. He
might just as well have been ap-
pealing to a flock of ,Egyptian
mummies or members of the Rus-
sian Secret Police. He remained
in.. jail "incommunicado" from
Friday afternoon until Tuesday
morning when he was informed
that the charge against him had
been changed to "attempted grand
larceny" and he was allowed to
use the phone. Hi3 hearing was
set for Thursday morning.
In the meantime, two represent
tatives of his company had been

trying frantically 'to locate him,
The hotel management 'checked
his room and found all his belong-
ings just as he had left them. Hos-
pitals and the city police were
checked. Nobody, it seed, -had
ever heard of the man.: When his
call came through, company rep-.
resentatives obtained a lawyer and
went tq the county jail. They call-

days in the jug without a -shave or
a 'change of clothing was a pitiful
sight and on the \verge of a ner-
vous collapse.
Would I attend the hearing and
appear-as a character witness? I
cei'tainly would and did. The cash-
ier who had taken the ticket at
the window identified Attorney
Win. C. Pierce as the man he
THOUGHT cashed the ticket. Then
he looked at Wavering and "didn't
think he had ever seen him before."
To make the farce louder and fun-
nier, the man who had taken Wa-
vering into custody identified him-
self as "Chief of Police" for the
Sunshine Park Race Track. When
questioned by the judge it turned
out that the man had never been
commissioned with police powers

FISHING' and HUNTING'
-Straight From A "Harper"
Named George

One party found a shell-cracker
bed in the lake recently. One boat
occupied by four people came with
85 fish mainly that type of fish.
The others on the string were
bass, red-breast bream and cat-
fish.
Fish are bedding in the lake
early this year. Seems to be the
general belief among the fish'er-
men.
'"Red" Parker and his two bro-
thers came in with twenty-four
bass one day last week. That's a
lot of fish.
Dr. A. L. Ward and George Har-
per ;went fishing Thursday after-
noon and Dr. Ward landed a tre-
mendois size catfish which he
hooked on an artificial lure.

Ranger Hardy Urges Care
in Brush, Trash Burning'
County Ranger H. A. Hardy to-
day warned residents of Gulf Coun-
ty to be especially careful when
burning trash and brush during
the dry, windy weeks ahead.
"A trash or brush fire seems like
a simple thing to burn, but during
dry, windy weather, a spark from
a small fire can be carried into the
woods and start a wild fire with
ease," Ranger Hardy said.
"Wait for a day with little or no
wind to burn your trash," Ranger
Hardy said. "And then make dou-
bly sure by clearing a large area
around th efire so that it can't es-
cape."
Thousands of acres of Florida's
valuable timberland are destroyed
each year through carelessness, the
local head of the. Florida Forest

PAG EGH TE TA. PRTST JEGUF CUNYFLRIA HURDA, PRL 95


T. B. HOSPITAL
Eighteen Gulf County home dem-
onstration club members from
Wewahitchka, White City, Over-
street, and Honeyville recently
toured the new W. T. Edwards
Tuberculosis Hospital in Tallahas-
see from top to bottom. Mrs. James
Guilford, county home demonstra-
tion health chairman, planned and
organized the trip with the help
of the home demonstration agent.
The club women visited the
wards, the kitchen, the darkroom,
the sun porches, the workrooms,
auditorium, and later had a deli-
cious luncheon in the hospital din-
ing-room with Mrs. Princess Wil-
son, supervisor of nurses as hos-
tess.
Of great interest to the women
were the X-ray room, and dark
rooms where they saw negatives of
the patients' stages. of tuberculo-
sis.
During the visit Mrs. Wilson
spoke to the group on -the care
that is given patients, the equip-
ment used and the average length
of time the patients spend at the
hospital. A Gulf County patient at
the hospital was visited.
The kitchen proved to be of
much interest, too, to the group
attending. Everything from the
three huge refrigerators for the
vegetables, meats, and milk pro-
ducts to. the, special diet -kitchen
was seen. The highlight was see-
ing the trays being prepared for
the patients. The pyrex dishes were
first warmed, the food placed in
them, and- a metal lid placed over
them which will keep the food hot
for two hours.
Before leaving town the group
enjoyed shopping in Tallahassee.
Going on this educational tour
were: Mrs. James Guilford and
Mrs. Edna Hardy, Overstreet. Mrs.
D. R. Hatcher and Mrs. Robert
Daniels of White City. Mrs. Charles
Whitfield, Mrs. Edna Davis; Mrs.
William Roemer, Mrs. James Rish,
Sr., Mrs. Retta Rish; Mrs. Roy Con-
nell, Mrs. Ella. Glenn, Mrs. S. W.
Meredith, Mrs. E. C. Harden, Sr.,
Mrs. Milton Parramore, Mrs. Char-
lie White and Miss Ruth Milton
of Wewahitchka.

CABBAGE IN MANY WAYS
Cabbage is one of our Florida
foods about which all good things
can be said. It is abundantly grown .
nutritiously-worthwhile, and deli-
cious to eat raw or cooked. Just
now cabbage is plentiful in Gulf
County. So let's look at some ways
to use this popular and plentiful
vegetable.
Raw cabbage can be served in
many delightful ways. A wedge of
crisp, clean, raw cabbage gives a
pleasing texture and freshness to
a meal and may serve as a salad.
Shred or cut the cabbage just be-
fore serving to keep maximum'
food values.
Many home-grown vegetables
combine well with shredded cab-
bage for salads. A few combina-
tions that are good with sour
cream dressing, mayonnaise or
French dressing are:
Shredded cabbage and roasted
peanuts.
Shredded cabbage, hard cooked
eggs and roasted peanuts or pecans
Shredded cabbage, chopped green
peppers and nuts.
Shredded cabbage, carrots and
green peppers.
Shredded cabba'e. celery, green
peppers, and roasted peanuts.
Shredded cabbage, green peppers
and shredded raw beets.
Oranges, grapefruit, tangerines,
calomondrins, avocado and pine-
apple each combine well with
shredded cabbage.
Do you cook cabbage too long?
R should be cooked just until ten-
der to insure a delicate flavor and


to preserve the c'clur. Cook coarse,
outside leaves separate from the
tender, inner leaves to prevent
over cooking the inner leaves.
Shred or cut the cabbage head into
eighths and cook in boiling salted
water 5 to 10 nunnoes for the shied-
ded and slightly longer for bhe
more coarsely cut pieces. Tne
strong odor and favor of cooked
cabbage can be lessened by cook-
ing the vegetable uncovered so that
the offending od,:s can go off ir:o
the vegetable uncovered so thit
the offending odo::. can go off into
the air. Cabbage may be cooked
in a pressure sa-cepan in 1 te 2
minutes. When tender, season
with butter or ba'JL. fat and serve
hot.

Juvenile Delinquency
Everytime you pick up a .new.s
paper there is some account of teen
age crime. This is not restricted
to larger communities, because
even in our own community, just
recently, we have had some. There
must be a reason behind this crime
and I believe that we have the so-
lution, or at least part of the solu-
tion. Port St. Joe is a rapid grow-
ing community with many modern
facilities, but there is no place for
the teenagers to go. The places
where they have been going, have
been taken over by some of the
adults who have made it indecent
to go there any longer. I believe
that the solution to the problem
is in a recreation, center,, where
the kids can go and play, get to-
gether and read, a place strictly
for teenagers where they may feel

free to go at any time. Several
attempts have been made to form
recreation for one night a week,
but that proved unsuccessful for
several reasons. One reason was
that it was only open one night a
week, but we need something that
is open at all times. We need a
place where teenagers can meet
under decent surroundings and en-
joy clean, wholesome recreation.
Some of you parents may say
that when you were growing up
that you made your own recrea-
tion, you didn't need a special
place to go. But did you ever stop
to think that when you were grow-
ing up that you could take a stroll
in the woods or 'down a country
lane. Now, everything is so modern
istic that you can no longer do this.
'The teenagers of our city are
willing to do all our share and more
in obtaining a decent place for
recreation. Are you behind us?

SPECIAL


Gulf Hardware Agents
For DeWalt Power Tools

Gulf Hardware and Supply Co.,
local retail hardware dealers with
store and offices located at 408
Reid Ave., have taken franchise
to sell the complete line of DeWalt
"Power Shop" machines and ac-
cessories, it was announced today
by R. G. Bellows, Jr., Sales Mana-
ger.
The DeWalt "Power Shop" is a
radial arm multi-purpose wood-
working machine which is design-
ed to meet the needs of wood-
working hobbyists, residence build-
ens- for interior trim and cabinet
work,-and small wood processing
and fabricating shops. "Power
Shop" machines are available at
the Gulf Hardware store in a var-
iety of models -and in a wide range
of horsepower.
This local 'hardware stot'e is a
familiar su'pl] house tp most
Port St. Joe hobbyists and trades-
men who halve visited the firm
during the past 17 years for their
sporting goods, tools and -hardware
needs. The new line of power tools
is intended to round out the Gulf
Hardware's inventory and make it
possible' for the customer to buy
all the things he will need in his
hobby or trade at the same estab-
lishment. It 'is believed that this
practice of buying all supplies from
one dealer will result in better ser-
vice and closer cooperation between
the supply house and the custo-
mer.

The Measure

Of Suit
The real measure of a suit
has less to do with chests and
,waists than with style, qual-
ity and fabric. In a Curlee
suit, these are always present
and always evident in full
? -measure.
A wide selection ,of Curlee
suits is now on display. Like-
wise, a complete showing of
accessories.
We have suits of the fam-
ous "Orlon" fabrics. Holds a
permanent crease even after
? being wet.
Will not.wrinkle, ever.
